Adapta fear sabotage in Norway

[swordsman]

According to Norweigan media, the Adapta team fears their cars have been sabotaged in the parc fermé during the rally weekend. For a short while, Henning thought the same, but he seems to have changed his mind.

Actually, to me it sounds really strange and a bit too bad to be true. It's of course a big disappointment to adapta, and what if a mechanic or engineer of the team just don't want to admit a mistake they did? Of course I can't say it's nonsense, but it sounds like losers talk to me...

What do you think?

I haven't found any good info in english (please add that anyone that has a link), but I made a short story about it on my blog.

Do they even know what was sabotaged???
They can't just accuse like that

Although after Mads performance in Wales I expested him to fight from 4-6 positions.... and he was nowhere near that I'm afraid

Who would sabotage a Subaru ?

The recent Subarus are the proper definition of sabotaging a winning rally car.

BS alert! This team and drivers sabotaged them self all weekend!!

You can use each reason to leave the circus !
I believe that there are more teams and drivers looking for a reason to step away from the too expensive wrc championship. Now results and the financially crisis, that can be also the real reason what they want to hide!

Hahaha that's right! Also I totally agree regarding BS alert

Hennings "sabotage" was confirmed by MW and was probably an mec error. or something. At least they have stopped any info regarding this, after the crisis meeting.

Am I right in thinking that the works TR7s of Tony Pond and, I think, Jean-Luc Therier were sabotaged prior to the start of the Tour de Corse in about 1978 or '79? Maybe someone like Fred Gallagher could confirm.

This sounds like the local newspapers trying to get a scoop.

The article says that it should have happened the night between Friday and Saturday, but Hennings "incident" was the night before Shakedown, and as Gard says, were confirmed as a genuine incorrect setting of suspension or diff (don't remember exactly). I've never seen Henning that angry, he was furious!

Also, as said earlier, who would wanna sabotage a Subaru Impreza?

But that Henning incident isn't a sabotage but a mechanical mistake as I understand?
